On the Ragged Edge of the World

“I have plans for you.” Aden buried his face in Darren’s neck and inhaled. “God, you smell so good.”


“God, you feel good.” Darren didn’t even try to loosen Aden’s grip. He lifted his hips, grinding his ass against Aden’s erection. “What plans?”


“Something we’ve never done before. Do you trust me?”


“Always,” Darren answered, even as his mind raced through the all the possibilities. “Does that mean it’s going to be a surprise?”


He felt Aden’s smile. “Do you want it to be?”


Aden’s weight shifted. His legs settled between Darren’s, and with one last kiss to his nape, he peeled away to kneel on the bed. He massaged Darren’s thighs, working slowly upward, and Darren rested his cheek on the pillow as he got lost in the sensations. Aden lingered on his ass for several minutes, long enough for Darren to feel like he was melting into the mattress. When he pushed beneath Darren’s shirt to skim over his hot skin, Darren nearly jumped from the direct contact.
